What is the “Founder story”?
I created Wander Wet Bags™ after unsuccessfully searching for a cute, high-quality wet bag to stash my wet swimsuit while traveling. Every wet bag I came across was either covered in kid prints like giraffes and dinosaurs or were standard issue black, military-grade wet bags for use underwater. I wanted a beautiful, well-made bag with waterproof lining that I would feel proud of taking to the pool or spa when on vacation. When I couldn’t find one that met the higher-end criteria, I decided to make my own. Over time, friends and family asked me about them, and I began making them as gifts. Eventually, I realized I was onto something. I devised a business plan, found a local manufacturer, and haven’t looked back since.
How did you come up with the idea?
Living by the beach in Southern California means there is always a reason to get out in the sun. If, by chance, it happens to be cloudy or otherwise “cold” (in other words, less than 70F degrees), then you just head to hot yoga.
I searched everywhere for a cute bag where I could put my wet bikini or yoga gear as I zoomed around town, but everything was so… utilitarian. I decided to create my super cute wet swimsuit bag that would be beautiful, reusable, reliable, and, most importantly, make me smile every time I used it.
Initially, I just made one bag to use myself, but soon my friends started asking me if I could make some. I made a couple to carry my sons’ change of clothes to swim class with and bring their wet bathing suits home with, and other moms asked me where I got them. They worked so well that I made one to keep my phone dry, sand-free, and hidden in my beach bag.
One of my sisters-in-law wanted one for her trip to Belize. And another wanted one to organize my niece’s diaper bag. I made a couple more for myself for my intimates so the TSA couldn’t see my business when I went through airport security and fellow travelers asked me about them. Shortly thereafter, I realized I was on to something, and Wander Wet Bags was born.
